METHOD FOR CREATING ELECTRIC PROPULSION THRUST Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC F03H99/00 

FIELD: electricity.

SUBSTANCE: method consists in forming a flow of combustion products of hydrocarbon, chemical or nuclear fuel moving at a given speed in a magnetic field whose induction vector is orthogonal to the velocity vector of the combustion product flow, wherein the flow of combustion products, when exposed to an electric microwave field in the electron- cyclotron resonance mode, is divided into a cation beam and an electron beam, wherein the energy of the electron beam is transformed into additional power directed in the pulsed mode to speed up the cation beam, creates a supersonic reactive jet proportional to the kinetic energy of the accelerated beam, which simultaneously with the focused reflected shock waves and the accelerating electric field affect the combustion of the fuel in the detonation combustion chamber with the provision of a detonation combustion mode and the formation of a periodically initiated stable traveling detonation wave, due to the energy of which and the pulsed accelerating electric field matched with the detonation frequency, the combustion products are directed into the magnetic nozzle and their kinetic energy is converted into the propulsion thrust, and the energy of the cations or charged ions exiting the section of the magnetic nozzle are first passed through a concentrator amplifier for obtaining dense unipolar beams, and then converted to additional electrical power and accelerating voltage. The ions are neutralized by electrostatic braking and the formation of low-velocity ion beams for soft interaction with collector electrodes of electrostatic traps made of nanomodified carbon material based on the mechanisms of ion-electron emission and electronic braking.

EFFECT: invention allows to provide a higher specific thrust, efficiency, to increase the useful load factor of the aircraft.
